Blessing Moyo (born 4 April 1995) is a Zimbabwean football defender who currently plays for Simba Bhora.

Starting his senior career in Dynamos, Moyo made his debut in 2013 and broke through in 2014.[1] The team won the league titles in 2013 and 2014.[2] Ahead of the 2016 season, he reportedly took a "more lucrative offer" and joined Harare City.[3] In the summer of 2016 he was rumoured to move abroad, to South Africa and possibly the club Ajax Cape Town,[4] but he was rather announced as a signing by Maritzburg United for a reported fee of R 400,000.[5][6]

After one season, the contract was terminated.[7] Moyo sought a return to Zimbabwe and Dynamos.[8]

In 2019 he was back in South Africa with second-tier side TS Sporting.[9] He also played for Real Kings.[10]

In January 2021 he once again went back to Zimbabwe, this time to FC Platinum. He would strengthen the defence during continental matches.[11] He was referred to as "the team’s engine room as the miners roared to a fourth title".[12] His contract expired in December 2022.[13]

In Moyo moved on to Simba Bhora, winning his fourth league title in 2024.[2] He was present as Simba Bhora made their debut in CAF continental competition in the 2025–26 CAF Champions League qualifying rounds.[14] In the summer of 2026 he underwent knee surgery.[15]

Blessing Moyo should not be confused with the soccer manager of the same name plying his trade in Botswana.[16][17]
